Pilots a.k.a. Hawk Pilot Boots
Product description
Built for pilots, derived from a legend. The Hawk Pilot Boots were developed from the legendary Norwegian M77 army boot — with functional upgrades specifically for pilots: a lace-lock system for quick lacing and secure lace storage, plus a waterproof zipper on the inside for easy donning and doffing.
Made from 2.2-2.4 mm thick water-repellent full-grain leather, lined with Cambrelle textile that keeps your feet dry and comfortable. Warm enough for the average winter and tough enough for NATO forces — multiple NATO armies actually use them.
Why the Pilots:
- Developed from the iconic M77 — with pilot upgrades
- Lace-lock system: quick lacing, laces securely stored
- Waterproof zipper on the inside: easy on, easy off
- Water-repellent full-grain leather of 2.2-2.4 mm
- In use by multiple NATO armies

What customers say
"Great ankle support, sturdy leather, and they're comfortable to walk in. If you're looking for shoes that look good on a shelf, you should look elsewhere."
— Tom
"Took some time to break in (don't go for long walks right away) because they're full leather. But once broken in, they're great."
— Mari
"I was looking for shoes that would fit a wide foot. I normally wear size 39, but according to the sizing advice, I bought size 38 because there's some extra room in them. I didn't need any break-in time; the shoes were immediately comfortable for my wide feet. They've been my favorite shoes for years, although I haven't used them as winter shoes yet. They also look tough. Highly recommended!"
— Mari-Liis
"Good shoes. The rubber sole is very comfortable on slippery surfaces, but due to the softer rubber compound, it wears out faster. Still very satisfied and I would recommend choosing your normal size. I first bought a size smaller, and although there was indeed more toe room, the width wasn't enough. If necessary, add an extra insole yourself."
